May is here! Instead of going out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, celebrate at home with this healthy, delicious, and cost saving burrito bowl! Unlike most burrito bowls at restaurants, this one is much lower in fat and sodium, and another bonus is that you will have plenty of leftovers to continue celebrating throughout the rest of the week!

Ingredients: (Makes multiple servings, you will have leftovers)

1 pound of Ground turkey breast

1 16 oz can of ​Low-sodium black beans

1 cup of Cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup of Onions, chopped

2 cups of Romaine Lettuce, chopped

1/4 cup of Jalapeños, chopped

1 cup of Green bell peppers, chopped

1/2 cup Plain, nonfat Greek yogurt

1/2 cup Salsa

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Hot Sauces of your choice (optional)

Ground Turkey Taco Spice Seasonings (optional):

Cumin

Cayenne Pepper

Paprika

Ground Pepper

Garlic Powder

Directions:​1. Chop all vegetables, grate the Parmesan cheese, and place all ingredients in separate Tubberware containers instead of bowls. (Hint: This makes it easier to pack up leftovers for lunches/dinners throughout the week!)

2. Place ground turkey in a large pan on the stove for medium-high heat for about 15 minutes or until it completely cooks. Ground turkey tends to turn a whiter/lighter brown than ground beef. Cook until all redness is gone and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 seconds. Fill free to use the spices above to season ground turkey for a spicy, taco taste!

3. When ground turkey is finished, place this in separate Tubberware container as well.

5. Time to clean! What is usually my least favorite step in cooking, cleaning up this meal is super easy since we used Tubberware containers as bowls for all of the ingredients. Within seconds, you will have your kitchen cleaned, and have meal planned with leftovers for the rest of the week!
